I’ve been using Base Layer Deodorant for a few days and I smell worse than before starting. Is that normal?

If you’re switching from a conventional antiperspirant (deodorant that actually blocks your pores from releasing sweat), you may experience a 2-3 week transition period while your body adjusts to Base Layer Deodorant. As your body begins purging the bacteria and harmful ingredients, like aluminum, that have built up in your underarms (due to using conventional deodorant) it is totally normal to notice a temporary increase in sweating and bad body odor.

We strongly recommend giving Base Layer a full three-week shot before making your final assessment. If you’re still not satisfied with the results, we will happily issue a full refund or exchange, no questions asked.
